4.4.Systems Engineering Decisions: Important Design Considerations 4.4.xx.Parts Management Parts management is a design strategy that seeks to reduce the number of unique or specialized parts used in a system (or across systems) in order to reduce the logistic footprint and lower total life cycle costs. In addition, it also may aid in mitigating parts obsolescence due to diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages (DMSMS). Parts management is an important design consideration and should be used whenever parts are not defined based on open systems design interfaces or Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) items, as described in sections and , respectively. A part is one piece, or two or more pieces joined together, which is not normally subject to disassembly without destruction or impairment of intended design use. A part is the lowest configuration item of the system design that would be implemented and verified. Parts are defined in performance-based terms by their form, fit, function and interfaces. The parts management strategy should cover the entire life cycle of a system and be based on the fundamental systems engineering processes described in sections and The parts management strategy should also be evaluated at the technical reviews described in section 4.3., in particular the Preliminary Design Review and Critical Design Review. The Systems Engineering Plan should address the parts management strategy, including the need for a parts management plan. A parts management plan typically includes: Specification of parts selection criteria based on objectives in the Acquisition Strategy Report and overall support strategy; Identification of a preferred parts list; Definition of the processes for conducting trade-off analysis, parts selection, inclusion of configuration identification status and related change decisions in the technical baseline, and approval and documentation of non-preferred parts; and Discussion of how parts management considerations will flow down to suppliers. Parts selection should be based on trade-off and cost-benefit analyses that are conducted in accordance with the program’s parts strategy and management plan, as derived from the overall acquisition and sustainment strategies. Selected parts should be documented in a parts list, which is under configuration management of the overall technical baseline. See MIL-HDBK-512A, DoD Handbook for Parts Management, SD-19: Life Cycle Cost Savings Through Parts Management, and related industry specifications, such as AIA and ANSI/AIAA-R-100 and ANSI/EIA-4899, for more details on recommended parts management practices.

4.4.Systems Engineering Decisions: Important Design Considerations 4.4.xx.Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Materiel Shortages (DMSMS) is the loss, or impending loss, of manufacturers of items or suppliers of items or raw materials. The military loses a manufacturer when that manufacturer discontinues (or plans to discontinue) production of needed components or raw materials. This situation may cause shortages that endanger the life cycle support and capability of the weapon system or equipment. An effective approach to such a pervasive problem hinges on being proactive so that potential availability problems are resolved before they cause some crises in readiness or spending. SD-22, DMSMS Guidebook provides more information on related design considerations.SD-22, DMSMS Guidebook While DMSMS can have a huge impact on total life cycle cost, Parts Management is a strategy for mitigation or avoiding DMSMS problems. System Engineering Plans should include a robust section on Parts Management. SD-19: Life Cycle Cost Savings Through Parts Management provides more detailed information on the application.SD-19: Life Cycle Cost Savings Through Parts Management

PMR IPT Exit Strategy Recommend PSMC Meeting in San Diego for official handoff of PMR responsibilities –Plan: DSPO & PSMC continue to develop policies, advocacy, tools, etc. for Parts Mgt. –Policy letter should be signed & articles in popular literature should be prepared to seek out new interest and members. –The synergy between DSPO, GIDEP/DLA, TLSCM (or whatever it becomes next), and the PSMC (DoD-sponsored government- industry forum) should provide the direction and turtlepower to take the effort to the next level.
